NASA Langley Research Center is issuing Request for Information LARC-RFI-2026/2027 to identify industry, academic, and non-federal government partners for the development of the NASA Langley Aerospace Innovation District Hub in Hampton, Virginia. This multi-decade real estate initiative involves approximately 325 acres of developable land across seven parcels, with an additional 150 acres available subject to environmental and archaeological constraints. NASA seeks to establish a mixed-use innovation hub through Enhanced Use Lease or National Historic Preservation Act agreements, potentially involving the lease of 27 existing buildings totaling over 145,000 square feet. The project aims to support national priorities in hypersonics, aerospace technology development, payload processing, autonomous systems, and Lunar/Mars simulation, while also providing public gateways, renewable energy farms, and visitor housing. Interested entities are invited to submit expressions of interest and high-level development ideas, with initial expressions due by July 31, 2026, and the RFI closing on June 30, 2027. An Industry Day was scheduled for September 22, 2026, to provide detailed information on land parcels and real estate strategy. Prospective partners, particularly single-entity developers, may be held accountable for financing, tenant recruitment, environmental compliance, and infrastructure maintenance according to NASA Langley standards. This RFI is a pre-solicitation effort to gather market intelligence and does not constitute a commitment to contract; NASA intends to publish one or more Announcements for Proposal before the RFI closing date to outline formal evaluation factors for selection.

Full Description

Show more

Over nearly two decades, NASA Langley has been consolidating its operational footprint into its central campus, freeing significant acreage for future development. The Center has identified approximately 325 acres across seven developable parcels for potential lease opportunities, along with an additional 150 acres across two parcels that carry environmental and archaeological considerations that limit level of development possible on them. NASA seeks ideas for potential future uses of all parcels as part of this RFI. 


NASA seeks interest and ideas from industry, academia, and other non-federal government entities to lease and develop the NASA Langley AID Hub in whole or in part. This interest should be from entities aligned to long-term operations of the NASA Langley Aerospace Innovation District (AID) Hub, which NASA is establishing to enable and grow private sector and intergovernmental participation in Langley's mission in support of NASA's Ignition priorities to ensure American space superiority.  



Initial ideas for developing the land include, but are not limited to, facilities and infrastructure development that support:  


•    National priorities in hypersonics, and efficient and secure interagency and international collaboration for aerospace technology development.
•    NASA’s missions and priorities through accelerated research, development, testing and evaluation of aerospace products, payload processing for space payloads, airborne testing of scientific payloads, autonomous systems capabilities for regional air mobility, and Lunar/Mars large-scale integrated simulation facilities for east coast operations.
•    Langley’s institutional needs through a publicly accessible gateway complex for academic consortium and international collaboration, public access to the history and natural beauty of the property, renewable energy farms, and temporary housing for visitors, foreign nationals, and students.
